The Twenty-First Annual International ACM--SIGIR Conference on Research
and Development in Information Retrieval, jointly hosted by the
Departments of Computer Science at the Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology and the University of Melbourne, will be held in Melbourne,
Australia, from the 24th to the 28th of August 1998.
The Call for Papers and other information relating to the conference is
now available at http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/sigir98/.
Please register your name on the conference mailing list (for both
physical and electronic mail) via the conference web page if you have
an interest in submitting a paper to or attending SIGIR'98. If you do
not have access to the electronic registration form, send your name and
postal address to sigir98@cs.mu.oz.au or to SIGIR'98 at fax number +61
3 93481184 and you will be manually added to the mailing list.
Australia in particular and the Asia/Pacific region in general offers
an enormous range of recreational opportunities. Most airlines flying
to the south Pacific allow stopovers at other points for only nominal
extra amounts. We encourage you to combine your attendance at SIGIR'98
with the holiday you have been meaning to take for several years now,
but never managed to find time for.
